La diffusione della lebbra (morbo di Hansen) nel mondo - dati OMS/WHO
28.01.2008 "Lebbra, una malattia dimenticata". Con questa frase l'Aifo ha promosso la 55a Giornata mondiale dei malati di lebbra che si è svolta ieri domenica 27 gennaio nella giornata istituita da Raoul Follereau e riconosciuta ufficialmente dall’Onu. Sono ancora 259mila i nuovi casi di lebbra registrati ogni anno, pari a circa 750 casi al giorno: attualmente circa 10 milioni di persone hanno la vita segnata dalla malattia, benché da essa si possa guarire. "La lebbra è oggi una malattia dimenticata come dimenticate sono le persone che ne sono colpite: ignorate da un mondo troppo indaffarato per potersi occupare di chi soffre di un male, come la lebbra, che colpisce solo chi è già vittima di povertà, emarginazione sociale e negazione dei diritti fondamentali" - afferma l'Aifo.

Copertina del Rapporto Unicef 2008
22.01.2008 Più di 26mila bambini sotto i 5 anni muoiono ogni giorno nel mondo per cause che potrebbero essere facilmente prevenute come le malattie infettive, le diarree, la malnutrizione cronica e la malaria. Lo segnala il rapporto annuale presentato oggi dall’Unicef sulla condizione dell’infanzia nel mondo dedicato quest’anno al "diritto alla salute". Per la prima volta nel 2006, le morti dei bambini sono scese sotto i 10 milioni (9,7 milioni), ma Medio Oriente e Nord Africa, Asia meridionale e Africa Subsahariana "non sembrano avviate a raggiungere il quarto Obiettivo di Sviluppo del Millennio che prevede la riduzione di 2/3 della mortalità infantile entro il 2015" - avverte il Rapporto che descrive l'impatto positivo di misure salvavita semplici ed economicamente sostenibili quali l'allattamento esclusivo al seno, le vaccinazioni, l'utilizzo di zanzariere trattate con insetticidi, la somministrazione d'integratori di vitamina A.

22.01.2008 Berita "Perlu, Tes HIV/AIDS Sebelum Menikah" di Harian Pontianak Post edisi 16 Januari 2007 menunjukkan pemahaman HIV/AIDS yang tidak akurat. Hal ini terjadi karena selama ini materi KIE (komunikasi, informasi dan edukasi) HIV/AIDS selalu dibalut mitos (anggapan yang salah).
